| Power to the people – if the plan works | | 11:14am Friday 23rd May 2008 | |
THE power of parish
councils has been debated
long and hard
for a number of years,
with all parties and
interests suggesting that
parishes being given greater responsibility
is a good idea - as a
means of involving more people
in the decisions that affect
their local communities. |
| PO consultation is a pointless exercise | | 1:47pm Friday 16th May 2008 | |
LATER this summer - July
we believe - the Post Office
will announce its list
of proposed branch office
closures in the Durham
area. A consultation period will
then begin. |
| Welcoming a female county perspective | | 3:48pm Friday 9th May 2008 | | BEFORE the local elections
in County

PLANS for the Elvet
Waterside area of
Durham have been
dealt a significant

| Chance for political rejuvenation | | 2:23pm Friday 25th April 2008 | |
LAST month, when the
notice of the impending
first elections to the new
Durham County Council
was published, we expressed
the hope that new faces would
come forward to take the county
into its unitary future. |
| Thanks for listening | | 2:24pm Friday 25th April 2008 | |
CONSULTATION exercises
are often accused
of a way of paying lip
service to public opinion
while forcing through unpopular
measures. |
| Cooling our ardour about property | | 3:11pm Friday 11th April 2008 | |
THE scale of the change in
the housing market was
underlined this week by
a series of statistical announcement
which, taken together,
amount to a clearly defined,
no-argument, decline in
the housing market. |
| Just two cheers for A1 announcement | | 4:40pm Friday 4th April 2008 | | IT IS, of course, good news
that work will start later this
year on the upgrading work
to convert the dual carriageway
A1 in North Yorkshire
into a three-lane motorway. |
